    A formal military ceremony for 'Yudh Abhyas XXII,' a joint India-USA military exercise, is taking place on an outdoor stage with mountainous terrain in the background. Two officers — one in Indian Army camouflage with a green beret and one in US Army combat uniform — are saluting at podiums on a raised platform. A large formation of soldiers from both nations stands at attention in the background.
    A military parade or ceremony is taking place outdoors at a mountainous location, featuring two distinct groups of soldiers in formation facing each other. Soldiers on the left wear US Army OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms, while soldiers on the right appear to wear a different camouflage pattern, suggesting a joint multinational military exercise or ceremony. A central figure in OCP uniform is rendering a salute, and multiple national flags are visible in the background.
    Two military officers — one from the Indian Army and one from the U.S. Army — are walking together on what appears to be a tarmac or parade ground with mountainous terrain visible in the background. The Indian officer wears a green beret and name tape reading 'AMARESH GUNJAN' with lieutenant general rank insignia, while the U.S. officer's name tape reads 'JACKMAN' with 'US ARMY' and a colonel's eagle rank insignia. The setting and uniforms suggest a bilateral military engagement or joint exercise.
